Splendid Skills

What makes a footballer special? What are the qualities which contribute to the resume of a player so that he is chosen by different teams? How can a player be different from others? All these questions could be answered by one single word- Skills. The football skills lately have become an important aspect in a player’s career. Not only does a player need to have good strength and energy level, he also needs to have a fair amount of skills in order to show that he is slightly different from others in a positive manner. His skills would be useful to a coach for being chosen to play on a specific day, against a specific team. A skillful player also assures the coach of the fact that he has another added incentive in his team; another potential threat for the other teams. Usually a skillful player has a bright career in football. Examples can be seen in several English players including Cantona and Beckham. If the player proves his skill in a match and wins the match for the team, he comes to the limelight of several other clubs. These clubs could spend the money in buying such a skillful player in order to increase their chances of getting a title in the next season. With the added skill of a player, even the other teammates could bank upon in case of a moment of submissiveness in a game (when they are trying their best but are not able to score goals). At this moment, they bank upon the most skillful player in their team to get some kind of magic from him. This changes the whole complexion of the game and adds an extra energy to the team. In the past, we had noticed how players like Pele or Maradona could take on four or five defensive players (and the goalkeeper) to score a stunning goal. They are those gems of football who have brought glory to their clubs and nation both. Their teammates would even today, chant about their glory while talking about the past. Maradona’s skills against the teams of Belgium and England, in the 1986 World Cup is worth praising even now. The silky touches of these players are something worth seeing. It would be a treat for the eyes. In the present generation, players like Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar are in the spotlight with their high level skills in the game of football. People find it very difficult to choose between them. The matches which they play could surprise us with any small skills of theirs which they show against the players of their opponent teams. It is with their strength and their speed that they match their skills with. When the three combine, we find it very difficult to choose the best among the three. It is often said that the knuckleball effect in Ronaldo’s free kick makes it very difficult for the goalkeepers to protect. Not everyone could become a skillful player but if one tries their best to gain more skills, he could master those skills in no time and could become the next superstar in world football.
